Jonny Bairstow has broken his lengthy silence on his controversial stumping during the second Ashes Test at Lord’s and accused Australia of gamesmanship when taking contentious catches in the drawn series tantan
Bairstow was at the centre of the incident which ignited the Ashes, when Australian wicketkeeper Alex Carey opportunistically stumped the England batsman after he had stepped out of his crease at the end of an over tantan
The umpire had not called “over” and so Bairstow was given out by the rules of the game tantan
But England accused their rivals of failing to play within the spirit of cricket, and captain Ben Stokes later said that he would have retracted the appeal had he been in the position of his counterpart, Pat Cummins tantan
On reflection, Carey later said he had no regrets over the incident and would do it again tantan
“If there was an opportunity to get a stumping, I definitely would tantan
To see how much has played out since then it’s been a little bit surprising tantan
There’s been some nasty stuff been said but it is the Ashes – there was nasty stuff said before that as well tantan
”But speaking to the Daily Telegraph, Bairstow said he was not “fair game” as he was not trying to gain an advantage by stepping out of his crease tantan
“If you’re starting out of your crease, you’re trying to gain an advantage,” he said tantan
“If you start in your crease, and not trying to take a run, and you finish in your crease tantan
tantan
tantan
That’s the bit – if you try to gain an advantage, then it’s fair game tantan
But if you’re starting in your crease, you’ve ducked, tap, tap, scratched tantan
I’ve even dragged my bat, looked up, and then gone tantan
“I’ve never seen it happen from someone starting in their crease tantan
I don’t think you want that filtering down into kids’ cricket tantan
Look at the Mankads and everything like that tantan
You want young kids to be out there batting and having fun, not thinking about whether the fielders might do this or that tantan
“It might tarnish people’s enjoyment of the game that we’re trying to get kids into tantan
You want to be out there batting and bowling, rather than thinking about the 11 different ways you can get someone out tantan
”Several of Australia’s players have since poked fun at Bairstow over the stumping tantan
In interviews for The Grade Cricketer, Mitchell Marsh and Usman Khawaja claimed some of Bairstow’s England teammates were laughing with Australia’s players as Bairstow refused to eat lunch after the incident tantan
And Marnus Labuschagne described a “steaming” Bairstow in the dining room after the stumping tantan
He recalled: “The Sky crew (broadcasters) knew that Jonny was in there, and they just replayed it on the screen tantan
And, as you do, everyone’s watching tantan
Obviously, seeing us all watch, he’s like, ‘Are you guys happy with that?’“David Warner is spitting out his chicken, and goes, ‘Yeah, very’ tantan
”Bairstow has also suggested Australia were deceitful in the way they went about trying to convince umpires they had made clean catches tantan
“There’s conjecture around everything,” he said tantan
“Fingers underneath the ball when the ball’s still touching the ground tantan
Celebrating when the ball has touched the ground tantan
Marnus [Labuschagne] celebrated at Edgbaston at short leg tantan
Then the one that Rooty [Joe Root] fell to at Lord’s, when [Steve Smith] said his fingers were underneath the ball tantan
However, they were splayed widely tantan
But that was given out, that’s fine – it’s part and parcel of the game and the decisions the umpires give tantan
”Bairstow is currently part of the England one-day side struggling at the Cricket World Cup and on the verge of elimination tantan

First came the crack in Alexander Volkanovski‘s defence tantan
Then, the crack in his voice tantan
If the first crack was consequential, allowing Islam Makhachev to skim his shin off the Australian’s head, the latter was a consequence in itself – a consequence of one of the best fighters alive staying silent on his struggles with mental health tantan
That is, until now tantan
Volkanovski would have emerged from UFC 294 with credit anyway; he stepped in on 11 days’ notice and moved up in weight to challenge a man who had beaten him eight months prior tantan
Even in this surprising, first-round defeat by Makhachev, Volkanovski lost very little tantan
His featherweight title still rests firmly on his shoulder, and he will soon return to that weight class where he has been unbeatable tantan
But soon may be too soon tantan
In his post-fight press conference, Volkanovski began the dissection of this defeat – his second this year, but just his third as a professional mixed martial artist, with his first having occurred a long decade ago tantan
The 35-year-old started to dissect the technical reasons for this knockout loss, but it soon became apparent what was of greater importance: the psychological reasons for his presence in Abu Dhabi tantan
“He’s not somebody you should be taking a short-notice [fight] with, but I needed it,” Volkanovski began tantan
“Obviously a lot of people will say it’s for the money and all that, but it was much more than that tantan
It is hard, it is really hard for athletes tantan
tantan
tantan
Sorry, um tantan
tantan
tantan
I never thought I would struggle with it,” he continued, ignoring the blood over his eye, instead wiping a tear from beneath it tantan
“But for some reason when I wasn’t fighting or in camp tantan
tantan
tantan
F***, sorry,” he said, attempting a laugh, looking away and to the ceiling, then gently rapping his hand on the table to bring himself back into the room tantan

“I needed a fight, and this opportunity came up tantan
I’ll be honest: I wasn’t training as much as I should have, but I thought I had to do it tantan
I had to take it tantan
I’m telling myself, ‘It’s meant to be tantan

”Makhachev consoles Volkanovski after their fight, the main event of UFC 294 (AP)Volkanovski pointed to the birth of his third child, in August, and surgery on an injury this summer as reasons why he had not been training tantan
Clearly, the knock-on effect of those moments – as joyous as the former seemed to be – has led Volkanovski’s mental health to suffer tantan
Last week, all the talk was of how brave the Australian was to face Makhachev on short notice; braver was this admission that he is struggling, which simultaneously offers a different lens through which to view his choice to fight tantan
Keeping himself engaged and busy is healthy, but that is complicated by the inherent risk in his profession tantan
“Maybe it was just a silly decision under the circumstances,” he admitted tantan
Perhaps it was, though it was also understandable tantan
Volkanovski’s next challenge, however, will come outside of the ring tantan
It must tantan
He naturally sees the antidote to his current struggles as a quick turnaround to fight again, likely against the dangerous Ilia Topuria in January tantan
Yet, that fight could go the same way as Saturday’s against Makhachev, if the Australian does not first tackle these thoughts and feelings, and find the right balance for him tantan
We knew Alexander Volkanovski was brave tantan
That is even clearer now than it was last week tantan
Now, however, he must be sensible, and get to work outside the ring before he can return to work in it tantan
